Light Barrier – toying with human perception

“Light Barrier” is a perceptual light art installation designed by Elliot Woods and Mimi Son from Seoul and was first shown at the New Media Night Festival in Nikola-Lenivets Park in Kaluga/RUS from 4. to 6. June, 2014. The installation creates floating three-dimensional graphic objects by crossing millions of calibrated beams of light in a field of fog and generating a series of bright spots. The more beams that cross, the more intriguing the 3D effect becomes.

And how does it work? A set of projectors are positioned directly above a series of curved mirrors at an angle of 45 degrees. Curved mirrors reflect the light in different directions. Each reflected “pixel” travels along a unique path through space, creating a massive light field display. The installation is aligned so that the light is generally reflected horizontally towards the audience. The fascination of light and space displayed in a field of fog in the form of finely defined shapes…

The light art piece is to be next exhibited in Seoul in September as part of the Da Vinci Festival.
